What if WOTC designs an All-Female block? How will the players react?
White: Angels
Black: Witches
Green: Amazons
Blue: Sirens
Red: ???
What are the creature types that best serve in each color?
Blue could have mermaids/sirens and red maybe elementals?
Big Thanks to Xeno for sig art <3.
though, it probably wouldn't be too different from any other angel heavy set since all but two angels are female anyways...
oh, and we could totes have red be orcs. red needs more orcs, and orc chicks are dead sexy.
amazon isn't really a creature type, just give green more femelves, black could have some sexy demons, blue could have more moonfolk or merfolk, and white always has angels. then just throw a bunch of humans in every color.

Zombie chicks are dead sexy on no less than 2 levels.
If you are suggesting this as some sort of "sexy female block", thats really just fan-service for teenage boys and seems very unlikely since WOTC has been trying to broaden its market and appeal to more people, especially girls.

I'm curious to know why there would be an all female plane though.
What would cause that to happen?
What's the flavor explanation?
Is it a Succubus training ground?
Were all the men killed off, cursed, or castrated?
How do the beings from this hypothetical plane procreate?
Are they all lesbians?
Are there <trannies> among them or do they have a sperm bank?
Do they travel to other planes to get pregnant?
etc.
Suffice it to say that if you're going to even consider the possibility of creating such a plane, these are all important questions which need answering

I hope that answers the question for you.

I could see interesting storyline possibilities, like if it was a plane that men couldn't planeswalk to, but if this is just the idle hope of a set full of fan service, it wouldn't interest me a bit.
If it were a legitimate attempt to show a wide range of strong and equal female characters most of whom are not sexualized, then yeah that might be an interesting thought experiment.
Sadly, few of the posts in the thread thus far lead me to believe that this could possibly work out the right way.
I don't need any more sexy than what I've got, but I could use a whole lot less voice of all on my table.
you can do sexy without lolplatekini. archangel of thune is sexy, and the only skin she shows is from the neck up.

Taking the question after reading the original post and feeling that it is more implying just a fanservice block rather than one about just an all female world just makes me facepalm.
This 100%.
Nerd virgins can wank it to their anime sleeves and crappy anime land alters. A set or block chock full of incredibly strong, powerful, intelligent females would be awesome. Something this game needs, in my opinion, especially after the awesomeness of Guardians of Meletis and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver.
I don't even understand why people would vote to dislike an idea like this.

Because we don't want it the way the OP presented it. And I don't want to give the OP the excuse that "it won the poll" despite the fact that the question and his post are two very different things.
Battle of the fanservices!
I agree completely, for example Sydri is gorgeous if you're into both Cyndi Lauper and bodices, but I wouldn't consider that fan service. I don't think anyone is objecting to having attractive women depicted on Magic cards, most of us just don't want an Amazonian setting to be an excuse for some people to get their sapphic fantasies printed on Magic cards.
Character design is the weak point now, not the ideals.
- To my youngest sister when she was 6.
That character from the Cardfight Vanguard anime doesn't just buy 10 5-card booster packs and BAM, an all female deck. It just doesn't work that way, and that's how it is in real life.
The best that WOTC could do is just make an intro pack based on the all female theme.
Aaand nope. We don't need that kind of publicity.
I'd have to to ask "why is wizards doing this?"
The only answer to that is "some sort of political/social statement" I'd view it in the same light as a set where the main plotline is Teferi having some sort of universal healthcare and Urza is blocking it in the senate.
I like my hobby as apolitical as possible. I already get enough social commentary everywhere else I turn.
